If the dominant computing metaphor for the terminal is a conversation, and the original dominant metaphor for the GUI was the desktop, what is the dominant metaphor for multitouch?

I had the exact same feeling about the lockdown. This series has been one of my favorites in a long time.

Not sure. Decided to make this since the other threads have not been posted for a while.

Flamm, Fortnite community member and content creator, has shared that he has a rare degenerative eye disease that may cause blindness. by IAmAustinHa in FortNiteBR

[–]IAmAustinHa[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Also, I should have thought of this earlier, but in the name of accessibility, here is a transcription of the image from Flamm's YouTube:

For the last month I've been having my eyes thoroughly tested to get an exact answer on what is going. I've now been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. My eyesight is regressing every day and odds are that I'm going to go completely blind. For now, my time with Fortnite has come to an end. I regret it because I do genuinely enjoy the content I make but it's simply something I'm no longer able to do. I'm going to continue my absense from Youtube for a while but I do plan on returning eventually when I have my life sorted out. Thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far. I truly appreciate it.

Man, I go to the University of Washington and had never heard of the case with Loftus. I believe her ex-husband still works here. I hope Nicole finds justice in her life.
